The theory holds that plant competition modifies the environment- light and moisture availability, and soil nutrients- so that plant populations also change. Regions of unsustainable agriculture or unstable governments, which may go hand-in-hand, typically experience high rates of habitat destruction. Eleven mustelid species inhabit North America. Several Georgia Bays have peat deposits over 14 feet deep, the end product of about 9,000 years of plant decomposition.
